I love teaching language arts at Sunnyslope High School. I have always been an avid reader of literature and non-fiction, and I appreciate the tremendous value of clear and descriptive writing. I have been teaching at SHS for 17 years and have taught all four grade levels of language arts. I believe in the value of high expectations for students; by believing that students can reach their highest potential and by expecting their very best, students can succeed. I enjoy teaching and advising the Education Professions program and Future Educators Association chapter here at Sunnyslope. This is a career and technical education program designed for students interested in a career in education, and it provides general information about learning and teaching as well as hands-on, practical experience through an internship. The welcoming, productive work environment and our fantastic students make working at SHS a privilege.
